Hunting for wonder

“Hunting for Wonder” is a poetic film seen through a child’s eyes, capturing their innate curiosity and sense of magic in nature. It contrasts this wonder with the adult’s rational, scientific, and profit-driven view, highlighting how we often see nature either as exploitable or miraculous. The film explores the ongoing struggle for understanding between reverence and pragmatism, inviting viewers to adopt a wonder-filled gaze. Through a child’s perspective, it reveals a vibrant universe where insects speak, fairy-tale worlds emerge, and all life—ants, aphids, butterflies, mosses, fungi, and trees—is interconnected as a holistic, life-supporting system. Ultimately, it emphasizes that everything in nature is connected—life supporting life.
